I have shown photos of this pond before, but the clouds are always different. This day they were particularly dramatic.
Cloudscape
Salal
I was walking in the park and saw this patch of salal. It caught my eye with its rich green color. It’s a very common ground cover and it usually doesn’t get noticed much. But when everything else is in its winter colors, it made a welcome splash of GREEN!
Marine Science Center in the Mist
This is the Marine Science Center at Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, WA. The exposure range was extreme enough that it burned out the area in the upper right, but it seemed not to distract from the image too much. The point of land in the middle distance (it’s hard to see the far distance) is Point Hudson.
Rainbow and Lighthouse
This is the lighthouse at Point Wilson in For Worden State Park in Port Townsend, WA. I had to walk around a bit to get the ‘bow coming down close to the lighthouse, and didn’t notice the flock of birds (too far away for me to identify) until I was reviewing the image at home. The sunlight brightening up the lighthouse was particularly nice.
Reddish Rainbow
I thought this was a little unusual for a rainbow … lots of the reds and not so much (if any) blues and greens. This is looking directly east with the sun low in the western sky. There was a VERY faint double showing in the left of the sky, but it didn’t show up much in the image. This was taken with my iPhone with it set on wide angle … which created some distortion. I corrected some of that in Lightroom, but it stretched out the tree on the right margin some.
